Sending input packages to authoritative server

Hi Guys,

I'm working on a 3D project with an authoritative server, and I'd like to know if it's possible to package together a client's input and send it to the server.

For example, I want to call Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") on the server, and have it return the state of the client.

Thanks

 

you can't call that, but you can use RPCs to send the input and interpret it on the server.

check the authorative server example within the network example (available in the resource area on the website)

 

Thanks, I've looked at the tutorial, but is there a better way of packaging input rather than sending a whole bunch of variables?

 

There are two ways basically:

1. Using an RPC. thats simple also from the programming way
2. Network view and OnSerialize.... and then writting it to bitstream there.

in the end both have the same effect -> data send in a bitstream / datapacket, and as you send input, in both cases it needs to be reliable.

 

The RPC solution is elegant enough. Thanks for the help
